THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER  WRITTEN HERE ON CHORDIE IN MY HUMBLE OPINION RUSSELL !

Short, to the point, clear message, perfect rhyme scheme.
Put that together with a musician who is talented and right in his wheel house bc he is playing what he loves - and you've got a fantastic song production !



Superbly done Russell - if this was put out by a famous band it would go high on the charts !

Thanks for sharing it.

at first I thought Eagles Greatest Hits album or the One of These Nights Album, but after closer examination - NOT !

I believe the word prodigy should appear somewhere in the assessment of this young man !

It appears to me that he is in love with the instrument and plays it as such.
There probably aren't too many humans that can play like that.
What a wonderful performance !

If I could play anywhere near that level, I'd quit my job.  smile

Thanks for sharing.

Well written Scott !
I can follow the path of the poem perfectly from all the episodes you have described.

I think it would be great if you stepped out of your metal genre for a song and played this ----  wait for it----

I think as a jazzy slow song. In my head the lyric speaks so much that I think a jazzy sound would do it great justice.

I don't know  if that makes sense to you. But any way -  excellent poem.

Beamer - that riff sounds ominous - like something is lurking or something dangerous is about to happen.  Very good sound.

Nice playing Richard

You look so relaxed and comfortable playing that song. It sounds terrific!
Well done sir !

CG
She is wonderful !

I really, really, really loved the last one - "Something inside of me"  it was perfect blues in my opinion.
(and I as I type that sentence - I just got a rush that those words would be the a great title for a blues song _ " {I got the}  Perfect Blues" smile  !
What a double edged sword that would be!


Thanks for sharing

Thank you

I have played it like that -and I like it- but then with my crtappy recording system you can't hear me singing the lyrics. ( which actually might be a good thing now that I think about it!
smile


Thanks for giving it a listen

Jim     

Richard

I too never had heard that song - you played it very well.  I had the exact same thoughts TF did about the headset Mics!
You are a master of many different styles of music for sure.
Well done, sir!

TF and Phill

Thank you for your kind words.

I actually like to play this song, it has a good rhythm to it and the chords are easy.

It came about bc I was reading a book called Leaders  and it compared Martin Luther and Martin Luther King,Jr.
The phrase " here I stand"  just resounds with opening one's self to everything that can be thrown at them - even in love.

again, TY for your positive comments.

Thanks Beamer !

I hope to record it and post it sometime in the near future.
It's my first attempt at writing a song with a bridge in it, so I'm kinda trial and error editing it as I go.
Thanks for your kind words and I hope that now that you have found a new " dancer" things will fall in place.
I really didn't have you in mind when I wrote it, but now that i think about it and consider your former posts, it does seem to fit the history.
Best wishes to you.

Jim
